Presume at Reading. No date, but well back in the days of steam, before the Rambles.

What a great little engine. I think I read that she steamed until 1964 when her caretaker retired. Does anyone know the whole story?

Maybe it won't work out. But maybe seeing if it does will be the best adventure ever.

Is that the headlight she had at the end? I don't seem to recall photos of her with that type of headlight. Perhaps this is an older Reading type and she got a more modern one, or perhaps my memory is just failing me in my old age.
